I am a fairly sceptical sort – on most things and not just about global warming. I am not impressed by ungrounded statements and I tend to dislike appeals to authority.
He is generally quite harmless and now getting frustrated with his mother’s refusal to abdicate. But I also rely on Prince Charles as the ultimate non-authority on everything he cares to open his mouth about. Among other things he believes in Kabbalistic teachings, herbal medicine and homeopathy. He was an avid fox hunter (now banned and he is therefore against it) and seems to approve of Robert Mugabe!
So I do not mind being called a headless chicken, and since it is from Prince Charles, I can take it as an accolade.
The Guardian (where else):
Climate change sceptics are ‘headless chickens’, says Prince Charles
“It is baffling, I must say, that in our modern world we have such blind trust in science and technology that we all accept what science tells us about everything – until, that is, it comes to climate science,”
It does not take much to baffle him, and in any case it is best as a future King of England that he not think too much for himself.
